Happy Thanksgiving

Fun Weekend

What fun was had at the Birthday Celebration hosted at Scrapbook Heaven .

Lot's of fun,games and challenges to choose from.

For me it was all about finding my MoJo for Paper scrapping again.

Since learning digital scrapping this summer I have been devoting

most of my time to learning this type of Scrapbooking and was

finding it hard to get back into my paper,

unless I was working on a craft project.

I did manage to do 4 layouts,2 cards and build a Scrapbook Kit!

The kit was fun to do..next time I place and online order this is the way

I am going to go about it instead of just picking random items that catch my eye.

So a big shout out and Thank you to the DT Members

for putting on such a fun and creative

crop and helping me find MoJo again for Paper LOs.

And a big thank you to all the ScrapBook heaven members of the forum

for a warm welcome...it was a fun time !

What a creative group of Scrappers!

Holiday Gift Card Holders

In my home during the Holiday Season all small gift packages

and special envelopes become part a of our families Christmas tree decorations.

BHG's "Creative Collections" Holiday Crafts Magazine 2007 Issue,

featured a stocking gift card designed by One Heart_One Mind

I thought it was a clever idea.

Using the pattern insert that came with my magazine.

I found it very fast and easy to make..creating three cards in a row.

Now that I had the fundamentals down for this card ..time to add my own twist.

The pattern called for covering both sides of a Stocking chipboard shape with Paper of your choosing....I used instead for my stocking a cardboard insert that came from my 4X6 Photo Paper Pack.

Punched 2 small holes on the top left inside of gift card to add ribbon for hanging.

You can use your favorite Stocking & gift card envelope templates to create this card.

Birthday Scrap~a~bration

Oh Boy...it's a Birthday Bash at Scrapbook Heaven

they will be hosting an all weekend crop on their message board.

"Scrapbook Heaven" was my first online experience in shopping online for supplies.

The need grew from such a limited amount of supply stores in my area.

I was very pleased with the products and prices...my order was at my door

before the week was out.

All arriving in excellent condition ..they also threw in an extra goodie..as a thank you.

How nice was that!

Since that time I have branched out to many other stores and my first online store

went to the back of the line....why I have no idea.

In my adventures of online shopping,Scrapbook Heaven

is one that has stood at the top of my list for Customer Service.

Still keep their business card taped to my desk as a reminder.

Revisiting their site again this morning,

I discovered that I recognised some of the DTMs who will be hosting the crop.

Have participated in some online crops with some of these talented ladies

on other sites and they were always so much fun!

They have a timeline and project list posted already.

Check it out and see if you might have time to fit some of this

into your downtime this weekend.

Lots of fun filled inspiration to get some of those pages completed.

Thanks Deanne for the heads up on this weekend online Party!

Shout out to Jacqueline....maybe we can get in on the fun this time :) !!

Hybrid Holiday Planner

I can now share my hybrid Project created as an example for the Holiday Party at DragonFlaireStudios.

They released "The Scrapper's Holiday Planner" at their Holiday Party last night.

What fun I had with this project....so many options for creating with this Digital Kit.

I decided on a Holiday Travel Planner as a gift for my Mother,

She does alot of traveling during the Holiday season ...this planner will help her to keep all her travel information,personal and holiday events in order.

I used a Photo Album from the Dollar Store...altered it to suit my needs.

All dividers are pockets that she can use to store here tickets,receipts,etc.

Look for the release of this kit at DragonFlaire Studio"s Boutique

Sketch "N" Scrap

Big Congratulations go out to Jacqueline for her winning hand at the Sisterhood of Scrap

Texas Hold'em Challenge...Jacqueline was holding a diamond flush...WTG!! on the flush Jacqueline!

The sisters also have a fun Card sketch posted for Sketch Saturday.

Working on a project this week I still had my pile of little scraps sitting on my desk..thought I would put them to use and give the card sketch a try.

I like to make up my own paper piecing patterns...but for some reason I find animals to be a bit

of a challenge for me.

Happy to report this one came together very easy with the help of Basic Grey (un)Dressed chipboard...made for a perfect set of Antlers.

Stop on by the Sisters and meet the designer of this sketch

she also has some fun stamps for sale in her store
